Driving Trollstigen in Norway in a Land Rover Defender - Overlanding in Norway 2020
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- We are driving up Trollstigen, the most iconic road in Norway, and we do it in our classic Land Rover Defenders. We have finally come to one of our highlights of this trip. Driving Trollstigen for the first time. And it that we drove it in our Defender's made it even that more special.
The trips starts from Åndalsnes and we make our way up the valley against Trollstigen. The mountains soon begin to rise against us and arriving at the foot of Trollstigen you know this is going to be a crazy ride. We stop at bottom first to check out the road and the views before we start driving up the final part. You need to be consentrating when driving up this road, on wrong move and you fall hundreds of meeters streight down. When we reach the top we take a walk out to the view point and we really got to test our nerves.
Enjoy and hit me up with a comment to let me know what you think about the video or if you have any questions. Best, Simon.

You guys have captured this beautifully. Visited there in September 2023. Such an epic and majestic place. Thank you for posting.
Hey and thank you for the kind words! 👍😊 September must have been great, had the autumn colors arrived? I love that place and need to go back soon. 😊
Wow ! Not been able to have any roadtrips this year so thanks for sharing this. An epic trip indeed.
You are more than welcome. Love going on these trips, filming and sharing it with you guys. Much more to come. 👍 Hopefully we all can get a trip in the near future. 😊
Trollstigen with the Land Rover is definitely on the bucket list. God tur!
Yeah, it should be. What an epic drive and the area around is also mind blowing so it's definitely worth the drive. I glad I have checked it of my list but I will be going back there again some day. 👍🙂 Cheers, Simon
@@LandRoverDrive I hope I can get it ready to roll this summer but we'll stay in Sweden this year anyway. Trollstigen 2022! 👌
Spen many summers in Sweden and it's great. Haven't gone overlanding there yet so thats on my todo list. :) I'm hoping sooner than later. 🙂 Best of luck with your Discovery. 👍
@@LandRoverDrive Thank you! It's a Range Rover with a 1951 Serie 1 body and a Ford V8 😇
@@slowshop What, I haven't seen that before. Special combo. Never wrong with a V8. 👍🙂
Magnificent!!! Bucketlist material!!!
Thanks man. 😊😊 Yeah I think so too, it’s worth a trip or two. And so much to see around this place as well. 👌🏔🇳🇴
Beautiful, reminds me of the Highlands in Scotland ❤
It really is! 🏔️👌 I always wanted to visit Scotland and maybe do the NC500. Have you done it?
Simply sensational, natural beauty at its best.
Thanks Peter! 👍😊 It’s one of the place one should visit at least once if you come to Norway. I see all your comments and will get to them all. Thanks you for the amazing support. 🤗🤗
That is freaking amazing.
Thanks man! Norway has some epic views.
Best one so far! LR and Norwegian nature - what a concept!
Thank you sooooo much Svein, really appreciate the feedback. 😉 And yeah, it’s a great combo. 👌
What a beautiful country
Yeah, the views in Norway is worth a trip or two. 👍😊
Thank you for all the trouble you go to, compiling these videos. You have captured some stunning scenery. It’s nice to ride with you listening to your engines purring away. Good choices of music now too. Cheers. 👍🏻🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🦘🦘
Thanks Grahame! 👍 It’s hard to capture it on film and to edit it so you get the proper feeling. And I spent hours looking for the right music with your previous comments in mind. 😉 Glad you liked it. Best, Simon.
@@LandRoverDrive
Well done! 👍🏻
Here is a link to fellow (world) travellers who are incidentally stuck in Japan at the moment but it’s a great place to be as it turns out. Steph does the editing and uses Epidemic for her background music. Refer to the Description. They put out all sorts of helpful hints for Land Rover fans.
Anyway, this is to maybe help with your choices. I hope Epidemic helps.

Great video I was hoping to have visited Norway this year 2020 but 💩 happens so hopefully next year. Have a great Christmas and all the best for 2021.
Thank you and have a great Christmas you too. 👍😁 I Hope next year will be a better year for overlanding. We will still make videos and much more content and I hope it can be some sort of comfort for those who can’t travel. 😊
Thank you for providing us with such an experience with mother nature. I know how much nerve wrecking it must have been but you faced your fears and showed us this awesome video. Great camera skills Simon!
Thank you so much, I do my best to capture it all. The cameras does not do this justice but you get a good feel of what it’s like. Mother Nature is amazing and we are lucky who can travel and experience it all. 👍😊
Awesome. Your best video yet. Norway looks stunning !
Thank you Chris, appreciate that a lot. 😊😊 Norway is great and I try to do my best to capture it. The cameras does not do this justice but people going there in the future can see what it is like to drive it. 👍
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. 👍😊
Fin tur op ad Trollstigen, har aldrig kørt denne vej med OneTen, kun med turbus. God start på en søndag! Lykke til!
Takk takk. 👍 Ja var fint og kjøre TD5 opp Trollstigen. Får se om det blir Discovery neste gang. 😊 God søndag kveld til deg og god jul. 👍
Good Morning :-) I`m ready for a good 1/2-hour tour !
Good afternoon 😃 Was up all night getting the edit done so you had something to watch to your morning coffee. 😉 And I think the edit got pretty good. 😊
Die ersten 20 Minuten ist das ein ausgezeichneter Film, der Trollstigen aus vielen interessanten Blickwinkeln zeigt. Gut geschnitten und arrangiert und die Landschaft gut in Szene gesetzt. Die langen Kommentare am Ende sind wohl eher eine private Erinnerung an die Reise und für jemand, der nicht dabei war wenig von Interesse.
Thank you for your real and honest feedback. I was hoping the view point walk was interesting for people who are going there to check it out. But the drive up is definitely my favorite part too. 👍😊
Amazing scenery, and the footage should it to perfection. Definitely now on my list of trips I want to do
Thank you so much, It's definitely a trip worth taking. If you see the episode before this, we drive romsdalen, also a great drive. :)
Beautiful video, keep it up, good luck👍🏻 ... I wish you a Merry Christmas Mr. Mastermo. Hello from Marco.. from Puglia, Italy👍🏻
Thank you so much Marco! 😊 And the videos will be coming regularly as always. 😉 Marry Christmas to you too. Best, Simon.
Thanks for an interesting and different experience. We’re lucky in less developed countries like 🇿🇦 and our neighbouring countries to still be able to do drives like this on dirt roads with no tar/bitumen in sight. In the earlier days of driving in Lesotho, our mountain kingdom, you got your wheels wet by having to drive through every river you came to, and at times in the rainy season the level was too high to drive through. And yet you’d come across the locals driving in old two wheel drive vehicles.
You are very welcome Rob. 👍🙂 It's quite different going overlanding here than down there. I have seen a lot of videos from South Africa and we are more than a little inspired by the roads you got down there. Here we need to look for dirt roads. So we overland for the nature aspect, as I guess you do to, just different kind of nature. I hope I can go around the world at some point and drive in different countries to experience it all. But for now I'm just glad we are allowed to travel freely in Norway. Best, Simon.
What an incredibly beautiful country you have, thank you for an amazing video
It really is and thank you for you kind words. I try to capture it as good as possible but it's definitely something that needs to be experienced first hand if you get the chance. 👍🙂
Very epic drive!! Well said at the end definitely want your brakes to be working 100% and steering components too on a road like that!!
Yeah for sure.. Don’t won’t any critical parts failing in any of the many turns. We drove pretty slow as well. No need to rush, especially with those views. 👌🏔🇳🇴😁
Good video, next year, my jimny will try aswell.
👍 Jimny is cool, both old and new model. Just check the brakes and your golden I think.
Awesome trip guys thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting. More trip vidoes to come in 2021. 👍🙂
Amazing views 😮
Thanks man! Glad I could get it across the screen. There are many amazing views in Norway so it's definitely worth a trip. 😊
On the list for 2022.
👍😁 A good thing to have on any list. No matter the year. 😊
@@LandRoverDrive I've a feeling it might be 2023 (sad).
Sadly yes... But I will keep on making film for you and hopefully that will help a bit. 😊
@@LandRoverDrive may I request some snow please (wink).
You may and I hope it will be soon. 👍🙂
Excellent stuff! Cheers for the subtitles 👍
Hehe, thanks for letting me know you were missing it. Will see if I get time to go back and fix it on the others. Will add it to the upcoming videos though. 👍😁
Lovely ride! 👍🏻
Yeah, it sure was. Glad you liked it. I don't think it will be the last time we drive through there. 🤙🙂
@@LandRoverDrive I'm watching your other videos now. Great news! Looking forward to your next adventure 🚙
@@overnighter 👍 That’s awesome. Have a winter trip filmed and will be out in late February. Will be some pre-trip videos and mechanical videos first. 😉
Fantastic, we have nothing like that in Australia 🇦🇺👍
Hey and thanks! 👍😁 Yeah it’s a bit different but you got some amazing trails down there. One day I’m going to go overlanding in Australia. 😊 Best, Simon
Thanks for posting this great piece of escapism - and we get a good insight into what you had for your breakfast at 21:09 😖🤦🏼♂️Stay safe 💪🏻
Hahaha, I saw that.. 😊 I don’t remember what it is or how I got it there.. Part of thing though. 😊 Glad you like the video and you have a keen eye. 😉
@@LandRoverDrive I guess it shows I was paying attention 😆 Stay safe 🙏🏻
For sure. 👍😁
What a fantastic video and drive!! Looks such an amazing place. Some of the scenery is is quite like the Highlands in Scotland 🏴 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it! Would love to drive to Scotland at some point my self. Maybe a trip for the future. 👍🙂
the best video of 2020, too bad you didn't invite dear Erick 👍😢😃🌲🐧
😊😊😊 Thanks man. Worked hard on this one. 😅😅 Erik had no choice sadly. He is also watching these and we speak daily about it and upcoming trips. 😉
@@LandRoverDrive indeed! 🙈🙂
Her må jeg få komme med uhemmet skryt. Fantastisk god filming, nydelige klipp mellom biler og forskjellige kamera, perfekt musikk. Savnet litt mer info om Trollstigen, når bygget etc.
Hei Bjarne og tusen takk. Ja, det var tanken å legge med årstall, høyde og etc. men rakk ikke det. Ferdig 05 på natta med denne episoden . 😅 Mye jobb og mange timer lagt ned i denne episoden.
@@LandRoverDrive Og det bærer den preg av. Du er flink.
Ps. Du har en messenger...
Det er bra. Så messenger meldingen din litt seint. :) Men takk skal du ha. Alt hjelper å dra kanalen videre. God jul!
Awesome, hope to make that trip one day from Scotland.
Worth a trip or two. Does there go ships from Scotland to the "mainland" Europe, or do you have to drive down to England and then cross? Always wanted to drive to Scotland at some point.
@@LandRoverDrive Hull to zeebrugge or from Newcastle. Not too far over the border from Scotland. If you are thinking of coming over let me know. 07568074877
You know there was a regular ship between Scotland and Norway in one form or another for over 100 years until the last route closed a few years ago. I live in the highlands and Norway is closer to us geographically than many parts of England. I love Norway and have been going there for over 30 years..but I have never taken my Defender.. Maybe 2021.. but how cool to get on a ferry in Aberdeen and arrive in Bergen or Stavanger a couple of days later..
Epic! :D
I know... 🤯 Have you driven there with your caravan Rune? 🤔
@@LandRoverDrive Only car, no caravan at the time ;)
Im planning to do this in my 1965 Unimog 404 next year :D
Hey Victor. Your truck is great as I said. I also hope we will see some open borders in 2021. 😊
@@LandRoverDrive Lets meet up when im in norway with my mog :)
I'm afraid you will run over my Defender, hehe. 😀
@@LandRoverDrive It is not a monster truck :D
Hello Simon and Merry Christmas to you, your family and friends. I finally got around to watching this 4 part series. That was a lot of driving to get to the Trollstigen Kafe but worth it. That is quite a road going up the valley. I checked it out on Google Maps and there are quite a few photos. Did you leave from Trondheim? You could take the E39 next time and come down from the North. Looks like there would be some ferry rides. I didn't find time to do any solo camping with the P38 this summer but did get out with my Land Rover club for 2 trips once again showing a P38 has no trouble following Defenders. All the best for 2021 and keep showing us scenic Norway. Cheers, Gordon
Hey Gordon and glad to hear you got 2 trips. I did not get to do as many trips as I wanted but this was a good one even though we drove too much. :) I think it is a 9 part series now. 😱 If you start with the pre trip espisode: ua-cam.com/video/AIGUMBDFqR8/v-deo.html :) We wanted to drive with Erik and he had to go to Brumunddals, but your quite right. E39 is the fastest. I hope you will get some more p38 trips this year, I'm changing it up a bit and will be going on more trips in my Discovery 3. :) Wish you the est Gordan and stay safe.
Stunning series Simon.
I would urge all viewers to support Land Rover Drive through Patreon if they can so that Simon can continue to make videos like this - any small contribution will help him produce content
Hey and thank you so much. 🙏😊 Means a lot. Wish I could do this full time and hopefully in time I can. 😉 Love the screen name btw. “Puddings” 👌👌
10 minutes in and already a fantastic video. Were my eyes playing tricks on me or was the waterfall flowing upwards at one point?
Two points.. 😱 Felt better visually and it gives kind of a magical feeling which fits with the trolls and mountains. 😊 Glad you liked it and thank you for letting me know. Getting good feedback is a one of the force’s driving this channel forward. Best, Simon. 🤙
@@LandRoverDrive After watching it and seeing the view from the top I definitely want to add it to one of my places to visit when I can travel again. I've been getting a few good tips from watching your videos on thigs to get for my own vehicle. First being a set of Cooper STT Pro. What seats do you have in your Defender? They look very comfortable.
Good, means I’m doing a okay job. 😊 It’s definitely worth a visit. If plan it right you can drive Geiranger and Trollstigen on the same route going north. 😉 STT pro’s has been working great for Erik, and they really look the part. I’m not sure about the seats. They are comfy but the back rest is to low. I’m 183 and would break my neck if I crash. 😳 But glad the videos inspires and can help people plan for future trips. It’s what this channel is about, learning by doing and sharing the knowledge. And it’s two ways, I learn as much from people watching and commenting as they are from me or us. 👍😁
Been here last year
Nice! What did you think of the place?
@LandRoverDrive ...was lucky to get some pics , because clouds play hide and seek there. I had come from Kuwait, originally from Pakistan 🇵🇰
@@MohammadSaleem-zc2hf Glad you got to see something, weather can be a bit tricky in Norway. Sometimes it’s just perfect and other times you don’t see 2 meters. 😊 Kuwait I know very little about, Pakistan is quite mountainous if I remember correctly. 🤔
Wooow amazing. When did you guys visit? What month was it?
Hey, late August, early September. Still warm enough and the general summer vacation is over in norway. Usually over before 20Aug, so after that there will be a lot less traffic and people. Even later in September and early October is nice when you get the fall colours and the low setting sun. 👌
Check out my patreon.com/landroverdrive if you have more questions about going to Norway. I will be available there for questions. 😉
Semoga suatu saat saya bisa pergi ke tempat ini dengan orang yang spesial dalam hidup saya AAMIIN
I hope you get to do that some day! 👍🙂
Where is this place..??
Can you please let me know where about in Norway it is.
Hey, if you check the previous episode there is a map which shows of where with some references. But it’s basically in the middle and a bit west in Norway. North west of Jotunheimen. Andalsnes is the nearest town. Let me know if you need more help finding it. 👍
Poner subtitulos en español
Please
Hey man, I wish I knew Spanish good enough to do so. But subtitles are open for translation so others can do so. So if someone who knows english and spanish they can translate it.
overlanding in the tarmac??
Hey, I know. In Norway you can't go without driving on tarmac. To much money and so little roads, every tourist road gets paved. :) If you go further east it's better, less people and less tarmac. We try to find all the small gravel roads that we can. :) Maybe need to go to Sweden this year to find some more.
Does this car run you over too? Or do I have to get the performance pack for that? Forget the mountains people are trying to drive their Land Rover down a road without dying 😂
Hehe, no performance in this Defender of any sorts. 😂😂 Stock Defender in every way. Glad we had a good trip with no brakedowns or issues. Scary enough driving this road. 😅
Finner ingen troll der beklager.
Nei, men lett å se hvorfor man skulle tro noe slikt. My fint og trollat natur i norge. 🏔️👌
